2018 Professional Staff Association Sick Leave Bank

The Professional Staff Association (PSA) bargaining unit agreement contains a provision
for a Sick Leave Bank. Each year of the contract, a PSA member can voluntarily contribute
one day, 7 hours, of his/her sick leave balance toward the Bank. If, during the year,
that employee suffers a “catastrophic” illness or injury, he/she may request to be
allowed access to the Bank. A Committee composed of 2 members appointed by the PSA,
2 members appointed by the Administration, and a fifth member selected by the other
4 members will determine whether or not the request will be approved.

Eligibility for approval is based on the following conditions:• The employee must first have exhausted all other leave accruals.• The employee must provide medical documentation of a catastrophic illness or injury
(including diagnosis, prognosis and perceived length of disability) that is not work-related.• ONLY employees who have contributed to the Sick Leave Bank are eligible to apply
for access to the bank.

A PSA member who meets the above criteria may submit a request to the Committee for
approval to access the Bank. The Committee may grant up to the number of hours from
the Sick Leave Bank that are needed by the employee either to return to work OR to
become eligible for coverage by the College’s Total Disability Plan, i.e., 6 months
of absence. Please remember that a contribution to the Bank does not ensure approval
to access the Bank. The contract provides for additional days to be solicited from
members at a later date if the Bank needs more contributions during the year.

If you would like to contribute one day of sick leave to the Sick Leave Bank for year 2018, please go to your Online Leave
Report in My CCRI for either the pay period January 21, 2018 – February 3, 2018 OR February 4, 2018 - February 17, 2018 to donate. Please use the Sick Bank Donation
code SBD to donate anytime between Monday and Friday within either of these pay periods only. All sick bank donations must be completed by Saturday, February 17, 2018.

If you have any questions, please call Payroll at 825-2180.
